Ange Postecoglou is reportedly facing an FA probe over his comments following Tottenham's 2-1 home defeat by Newcastle.
Spurs continued their poor form as they suffered a 10th league defeat of the season and Postecoglou was left aggrieved by some of referee Andrew Madley's decisions.
His sense of injustice revolved around Newcastle's first goal, an equaliser scored by Anthony Gordon after the ball clearly struck Joelinton on the hand as he blocked a pass.
Referee Madley did not see an offence and it was not overruled by the VAR Chris Kavanagh because Joelinton's hand was in a natural position and the contact was ruled to be accidental.
Postecoglou said after the game: 'On the balance of play, any balance you want with all things being equal, we would have won today. Things weren't equal and balanced.'
When pushed by the reporter on what decisions he particularly disagreed with, the 59-year-old lashed out.
'You can talk about whatever you want,' he said. 'You want my opinion - if all things were equal and balanced we would have won.'
As reported by the Mirror, Postecoglou could be in trouble, though managers are allowed to express opinions on referees and decisions if they don't hint at bias or question an official's integrity.
The FA have not launched a full investigation yet but want to know what Postecoglou meant with his comments.
If the Australian admits his comments were directed at the referee, he could face a touchline ban or a fined.
Tottenham were incensed when a foul was awarded against Dan Burn for a similar handball offence as the game escaped them. Alexander Isak scored Newcastle's winner.
that sounds feasible... but these chaps do get paid tens of thousands of pounds a week to stick their foot out while running ..they probably practice it as well.

All this started from a simple question about our injury crisis which he took out of context and the proceeded to have the mother of a meltdowns acting like the leader of the Ange out mob trying to dictate what can and cannot be posted in a neutral thread might I add...attempting to shut down free speech and labelling it trolling just because he doesn't agree with it.
Just skip past the fucking posts if you don't like the content...absolutely bizarre behaviour, what the hell is this place coming to?

I've been skipping a fair few posts on here of late.
The fucking doom and gloom of all it.
Nah mate this can't be right, you have to be trolling or just being a complete contrarian to actually want the manager to turn this around and get behind the team...we can't be having fans actually daring to support the club through thick and thin can we...perish the thought
The last two pages had only one post on them for me lol shows how much I’m ignoring
Who’s was the one you saw?
Surely the effort they put is what you would expect of them anyway? That is minimum requirement.
He obviously meant “if we had a fit team, no sickness ……….”Postecoglou 'is facing FA probe' after claiming 'things weren't equal'

Not every fan! You have only joined since Sept 24 and come on here as if you know everything. Who said our target was as a cup team this year. Only reason you are saying that now is bcos of the horrendous league form. Which of you had been on here last season would have realised our league form has been in a nose dive since Nov 23. Look at how many goals we let last year. This guy has the worst record in 27 years. Now you come on and say we should accept all of this and just look for a cup. The goalposts have changed. Ange said last season too 4 was not good enough and this season he’s wanted to for the top spot. Well that has worked out well.
That's called rotation bro, unless you expect him to play the same eleven every 3 days which I guess is feasible if we actually had the players available but leads to burn out...that's why you have a squad in the first place.
Besides all that during that period we had Son, Solanke, Odobert, Van Der Ven, Vicario all go down with injuries anyway so we couldn't play the same 11 every match.

He really needs this. A bad result here and it can very toxic. 12th in the league can only be rescued by fact we could win the League Cup
So the Aussies were xenophobic towards your family. Take your bitterness out on them then and not on me. I've forced nobody to change his name. Just posted out that his name is Postekos. Ok, he changed name and it's his family name. Fine, that explains it. Wonder why the rest of his family didn't change their name back, though. They can't have found it as offensive.
We could all do with a win. But yes, Ange moreso.
Im looking forward to it.
Lol at the backtracking, you called him a charlatan and said he was a fake and masquerading as someone else. Whatever mate.
Be quiet boy.
I think even Dr Strange would struggle to find a universe where beating the bin dippers actually happens. One of the best, if not the best team in the world right now.
Indeed. See Covid response ! Wokeavirus all over the place there I’m afraid. Used to be tough but now feminised
